Broken front panel close to the radiator

Don't know how it happened. Rest of the car seem to be fine. How much does it cost to buy and install this part? Assuming it is safe to drive back and forth from home to some local mechanic to get it fixed.

Unless your radiator was damaged your car should be perfectly fine to drive. Many cars drive for years and years with broken or missing grills.

Your damage could have been caused by a rock or other road debris. Or, assuming the paint damage to your bumper and the cracked chrome strip below the broken grill are also new, it's highly likely that someone backed into your car.

You can get a replacement grill from a junkyard, from a dealership, or from a site like HondaPartsNow.com. I don't know what year you have, but I just checked and a grill for my 2010 is about $70 at HondaPartsNow.com.

Thanks for the information. Looks like some one backed into front of the car. We noticed at the end of very windy day. Do i need to buy chrome strip as well as broken grill? I did not notice any damage to radiator. Car is working without any issues. This is 2015 EX model.

You were already given a site link and the name of the part... did you even try to look? Add your specific vehicle then do a search. It's called a "grille" or "front grille".
